We decided to drive down to the Plaza tonight. I hadn’t been down there in years to see the lights. We took my Mom along for the ride. She really enjoyed it.
Mom couldn’t get out and walk, so we just drove around the plaza. Then we decided to go to Crown center and have dinner there.
It will probably be a few years before we head back to see the plaza lights again. Who knows……. They are pretty though!

Whew! I was busy today, I got the blue quilt quilted and just finished the binding on it. I usually do my bindings by hand but decided I did not have time so I did the bindings for both these quilts, today, by machine. It goes so much faster. (All they need now are labels, which I have a couple of days to get done.)
I’m almost ready for Christmas now, hubby put the tree up today for me because I haven’t had time to do that. I still have a bit more shopping to do so I’m hoping I can get that finished up tomorrow. I guess that’s it for now I think I’ll call it a day.

Okay here it is the last Monday before Christmas and on my design I have a Christmas gift. Last week I decided to make my son the rock & roll quilt, I need to finish the binding on it and then I decided to make his girlfriend a quilt, too. She likes blue and she likes penguins so I came up with this fast quilt, got it made and it’s on the wall now , coming off and onto the LongArm later today.she likes penguins so I’m going to quilt a cute penguin pantograph design on the quilt.
Okay so that’s my wall for this week hopefully I can get this quilt done and get the binding finished on the other one and be ready for Christmas. To see what others are working on go to http://www.patchworktimes.com
Have a great week and a Merry Christmas!

I’ve been busy getting everything written for my book and I have 2 quilts left that I need to sew the bindings down on. Since we’re on the road today, guess what I’m getting done? Bindings! Yea! I’m almost finished with this one. 🙂
Hopefully I can get them both done and sew the labels on before getting back home. We’ll see.
It’s a dreary day today so I’m glad I have something to look at other than out the window!
Hopefully, we’ll see some sunshine soon. It peeks out every once in a while. For now, I’ll go back to binding.

Wow, can you believe it’s already October? I’m going with friends to the Houston quilt show the end of the month, so that means 30 days and counting!! I can hardly wait! I have a full schedule up until then………
This week has been a busy one for me, and it’s only half over! I completed the second baby quilt that I need for my book and got both of the baby quilts quilted. I used the leftover fabric I had, to piece the backings. 
I have a donation quilt, made by one of my guild members, on one machine getting a quick edge to edge design quilted on it.
Over on the other machine is a custom job. I decided to put feathers around the stars.
Tonight I hope to cut out the last quilt for the book, just to make sure I have everything figured correctly, then back to writing as my first deadline is fast approaching!!!
Well, my quick break is over for now, I need to get back to those feathers…………..
TTFN!

Earlier this year I sent in a book proposal to Martingale Publishing Co. Much to my surprise, they accepted my proposal and I am currently working on writing, and getting the quilts made for the book. So this past weekend I finished up one of the quilts and designed a baby quilt. Today I got the baby quilt cut out and sewn together. I would love to show my work on the design wall…………but……………sorry, you’ll have to wait for the book! LOL! I can tell you that I have a cute little baby quilt top hanging on my design wall. 🙂
I picked up several baby/kid print fabrics over the summer knowing that I had to make a couple of baby quilts. I decided to use this one first.
That’s it for me today. Better get back to work, that deadline is fast approaching!!

I’m spending the day on the road today. Left early this morning to head to St. Louis, Mo. We stopped in Columbia on our way and shopped at the Appletree quilt shop. That’s a favorite of mine. I stop there every time I pass through town!
Before heading back home, we decided to go on the south side of St. Louis and visit the Quilted Fox quilt shop. It’s different from any shop I’ve been in!
Here’s what you see……
The entrance-
Inside the door-
Down the hallway (after taking the elevator up to the 2nd floor)-
Inside the window-
The entrance-
That’s it for entering the Quilted Fox. Not at all what I’m used too! I’m a country girl heading back home now. I just thought I’d share some photos with you, in case you’ve never been to a quilt shop in a ritzy area. You can at least say you’ve seen pictures of one!! LOL!!
I should add that they were really nice and have a large fabric selection!! I found just what I needed!
Better get back on the road……

I’m running behind on the Monday wall, but since it’s the same today as it was yesterday, I guess it’s ok! LOL!
I have a few more blocks made since the last time I posted.
I’ve actually made 3 other quilts since my last post too.
These are both done except for the bindings.
I quilted this one yesterday and have to get the binding on it this week, as I need it finished for the Heartland meeting on Saturday. I will show it and offer it as a workshop. I have the bigger size top done, but I think the smaller size is better for a workshop.

That’s it for now. Back to work for me!

After our long day Saturday, and the fact that we lost an hour of sleep because of daylight savings time, I was pretty well tuckered out yesterday. I hate to let a day go by without sewing or quilting something, so I decided to sew a bit more on the scrappy blue quilt I’m working on. I’m cutting strips of blue fabric from my scraps and making them into blocks. Here’s what I finished last night and have on my design wall today.
I have lots of pieces cut into sections.
And several more strips cut.
This will be another one of those projects that will take me awhile to complete. I guess a little bit here and a little bit there will eventually get me to the completed quilt top! LOL!

I’m a bit behind this week on design wall Monday, I did get quite a few of the blocks finished last week. I only have 10 more to go, then it’s time for sashings. Once I started working on these, I just kept going. It sure makes my design wall colorful! I’m getting anxious to get the whole top done! We’ll see how long it takes on that………….
I ordered some fabric last week, for the back of my lock in mystery quilt. It should arrive tomorrow. That should give me time to quilt it before the lock in. I also have my sisters lock in quilt from last year to quilt before then too. I hope to get it loaded today before I leave.
Sharon and I are giving our lecture/trunk show tonight in KC, so I’ve been organizing and packing up all my quilts this morning. They are now in the car and ready to go. Bad thing is they’re calling for snow this evening, not a lot but it still makes for a mess. Come on spring!! I am sooooo ready for you to get here!!
